The Handwritten Letter That Got a Seller’s Attorney to Call Us Back 📬
Share
At First Touch Letters, we don’t just write mail — we use it.
We’re real estate investors ourselves. Our team owns over 700 units, and we’re constantly marketing to find new opportunities. That means we're always testing what works… and we can say with confidence: handwritten letters still pack a punch.
One of Our Favorite Strategies? Mailing Seller’s Attorneys
Now, this might sound bold — but it works.
Yes, it’s perfectly legal to send a handwritten letter to an attorney asking if a property owner is open to selling. It’s a soft, respectful approach that avoids the cold-call awkwardness and stands out from templated mass mailers.
Recently, we sent a letter to an attorney representing an llc. A week later, the phone rang.
“I get letters like this all the time,” they said.
“But this is the first one I’ve actually responded to.”
That’s when we knew: this wasn’t just a nice letter. It was the right message, in the right format, at the right time.
What Made Our Letter Different?
We kept it simple:
-
A personal introduction to who we are
-
A brief explanation of our interest in the property
-
A link to our website for credibility and transparency
No pushy pitch. No corporate fluff. Just a personal, professional message that looked and felt real.
And the result?
That letter led to a conversation with the seller — and now, we’re actively negotiating the deal.
Why Handwritten Mail Still Wins
This is what our letters are designed to do:
Cut through the noise. Create connection. Spark action.
We use them ourselves for land lists, off-market leads, and tricky-to-reach contacts like attorneys. And time and again, they outperform every other type of mail we’ve tested.
So if you’ve ever wondered whether a single letter can make a difference — now you know.
We’re living proof it can.
